so a question about Santa came up the other day, so I decided it was time to let Ty in on the “secret” about Santa. I told him how, when a kid gets to a certain age and has shown that they are ready (by showing empathy and a giving spirit), that he or she becomes a “Santa”. I explained how after that occurs, the child won’t get presents from Santa anymore, but instead will pick out someone and become their Santa by giving them something they need (anonymously). I think Ty is ready for this! My baby is growing up <smile><sniff>
